The design process has not adequately included those people who will be most affected by its implementation

The energy transition is all about shifting a country’s energy system to the one that is better for people, climate and the environment. In SA, this largely means moving from coal to renewable energy. But for the transition to also be, various types of justice need to be met. For example, providing support packages for communities and individuals affected by the transition away from fossil fuels.

The JETP should tend to the most urgent cases first. For instance, the communities living in Steve Tshwete and Emalahleni municipalities in Mpumalanga will be directly affected by power station closures and should therefore be the first to receive support.One goal of the just transition is to build a better future, and a second is to resolve injustices of the past. The key to achieving both these objectives is to make sure the process itself is also just.
